Heavy
Seinabo Sey Seidato Sey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moving all around me, walking right beside me
I can feel the sun
I can feel it now
Because
Some days have been heavy
Most days have been long
Most days have been long
But look there can you see it
The rain is coming in
Far over the mountain
The pain will never win
Oh, what a day to be here
Oh, what a day to leave fear
I know I did you wrong I've been boastful, and I've been proud
But wasn't I worth loving anyway
I know I did you wrong
I've been boastful, I've been loud (I've been)
But was I not worth loving anyway?
Please don't judge me, my baby
I've come a long way since then
I've come a long way (since then)
And sometimes I seem angry
It's heavy all around
I try to make it easy
My feet back on the ground
Tell me 'bout a place where I belong with everything and everyone
Oh I
Something in the air here, memories of care
Moving all around me, like words that aren't there
Walking right beside me
I can feel the sun
Some days have been heavy
Some days have been long
But look there can you see it
The rain is coming in
Far over the mountain
The pain will never win
Some days have been heavy
Some days have been long
Some days have been heavy
Some days have been long
The lyrics of "HEAVY" by Seinabo Sey convey a sense of nostalgia and introspection. The song starts by setting the atmosphere, suggesting that there is something in the air that brings back memories of care. This could refer to a particular place or moment that holds sentimental value, evoking emotions and making the singer feel like someone is right beside them. The mention of feeling the sun signifies a sense of warmth and positivity amidst the reminiscence.
The next section acknowledges the heaviness and lengthiness of certain days in life. It implies that the burdens and challenges one faces can sometimes become overwhelming. However, the lyrics offer a glimmer of hope as they mention seeing the rain approaching and emphasize that the pain will never be victorious. This metaphor suggests that even in difficult times, there is always the possibility of renewal and overcoming obstacles.
The bridge of the song reveals a personal reflection, where the singer acknowledges their mistakes and shortcomings. They admit to being boastful, proud, and loud, which might have caused harm to someone they care about. Despite this, they question whether they were deserving of love and understanding regardless of their flaws. They ask not to be judged, highlighting that they have come a long way since then, indicating personal growth and change.
The final section reiterates the contrasting feelings of heaviness and lengthiness in certain days. The mention of feeling angry suggests the complexity and emotional weight the singer experiences. However, they also strive to find a place where they truly belong, along with everyone and everything that brings comfort and acceptance. The lyrics end by reminding the listener that despite the heaviness and lengthiness, some days can still hold moments of lightness and fulfillment. The repetition of the refrain emphasizes the persistence of both heavy and long days throughout life.
